Day 3072

 I woke up at 7:45 and got up for breakfast.  Then I started collecting things to go to the trailer.  There was CPAP stuff, electronics, final toiletries, dirty clothes, and the breakfast stuff.  It was quite a collection.

I moved all of the stuff to the trailer and put it away.  Then it was time to hook up.

Of course I made a rookie error.  I forgot to remove the safety pin on the hitch, so it wouldn't latch.  That was an easy fix and it hooked up with no problems after that.  The rest of the operation went smoothly.

Getting out of the place was fairly easy, too.  We did have to move about 6 rocks.  I'll have to cut the oak tree at the gate though.  It scraped the side of the trailer.

We had to go up 71 on the way to Brownwood.  The traffic wasn't bad, but the lights sure were.  We cruised up 71 for 30 miles past the Marble Falls turnoff.  Then we took other highways and some county roads to get to Brownwood.  It was a nice drive through a part of the hill country that we'd never been to.  There was almost no traffic.

We got to Brownwood a little before 1.  We pulled into an oil change place.  Getting into and out of it was a breeze.  There was a Mickey D's next door, so I walked there and we ate in the parking lot behind the oil change place.

Getting to the park and parking was super easy, too.  All in all the whole trip was about as good as it could get.  We got just under 10 mpg, probably because there was a regen.  It went down to 11%.  The only fly in the ointment was that the tire pressure sensors weren't working well.  I think that they need batteries.

It was 90 when we parked.  We set up with no problems.  Then we drove around Brownwood.  It's a nice old Texas town with a lot of stores and places to eat.  We also got some batteries for the pressure monitors.

It was still hot when we got back.  We put up the Starlink and then hung out in the trailer.  We plugged in electronics and I put batteries into two clocks and two temperature sensors that had died.  Everything works fine now.

I emailed the Bronco guy and gave him Dan's number.  Then I texted Dan to warn him.

After that it was videos that turned into a nap.  Then we took the dog to run in the park that's right across the road.  She needed it.

I had a sandwich for a really late dinner.  After that it was more videos and bed.
